giraffe

地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン（Giraffa camelopardalis）は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。

house mouse

地球上で最も広く分布し個体数が多い哺乳類の一つであるハツカネズミは南アジアを起源とし、南極大陸を除くすべての大陸に人類文明とともに広まった。体重わずか15〜25gで、最小限の食物と水で生存できる高度に適応した雑食性動物である。世界で最も一般的に使用される実験動物として、生物医学研究のほぼすべての分野に貢献してきた。世界的に農業に多大な被害を与える。
